With that said I would have to agree Philly, Cali, OR, CO would get screwed over in these trades. My area only has I would put it at five beers that would even be worthy of sending to people without full shame. I guess once I get a little better at home brewing I could send some of my stuff but I would need to get a few more batches under my belt.

This depends on your state. It is 100% legal to ship beer via parcel service in certain amounts in most states. PA is one of the few that it is a big no no.

PA is the worst state IN THE WORLD!
I can remember my first day living in this ****** state...
I get to the gas station and decide, I think I'm going to pick myself up a 6-pack
Looked around at the coolers... couldn't find the beer...
Asked the clerk where the beer was... and learned the horrible truth about this state

Thank God I live next to two distributors though. Total coincidence. I swear.

There are some stellar Canadian microbrews around. Mill Street, Boews, Kawartha Lakes, Creemore, and of course the greatest, Steam Whistle, are all just excellent.

Unibroue (which gives me a head ache for some reason) and Dieu Du Ciel are noticeably missing here.

But that list barely even comes close to Michigan without even going deep into their selection... Bells & Founders...BAM! Just those two beats the entire subcountry of Canada. And Michigan isn't even close to the best state for breweries.

I had this year's Stone Vertical Epic the other day. It was pretty "meh". Most beers have been for me lately, though. I might drink one of my bottles of Boulevard BBQ for Christmas.

And I have friends who have beer shipped all the time. They also travel for work and always load up on $200-300 worth of beer that they pack in a wine box or a bag full of socks and check. These people are good friends for what they do (and it's not illegal).

It's not illegal to ship a small quantity of beer, it's illegal for a distributor to distribute beer in an area they aren't licensed. Pretty sure on this - correct me if I'm wrong.

Well I know in NJ it was illegal for us to ship wine in the mail to someone out of state. I used to work at a liquor store and we weren't allowed to do it but I don't think anyone would care if you were shipping a bottle of beer to someone.

so i've heard good things about hard cider. anyone try strongbow or woodchuck? have an opinion on whats better?

Not a big cider guy myself. When I was in Ireland though, Magners was the cider of choice and I would have it every now and then. Girls loved it. I suppose it was okay as a change of pace, but I would only drink it when already tanked.

i see woodchuck everywhere around my parts. i'll keep an eye out for mckenzie's.

i wanna be a beer connoisseur but there's just so many different beers out there. idk where to start. sweetwater is the local brewery that most people in atlanta like but i really did not like it. with that said, i had yuengling as my first draft beer and it was delicious.

That's the only bad thing about PA!! You shut your mouth!!! If you live in a small ass town, you'll have 3489344593072832 beer stores in that town alone!
